The intersection of religion and development has for some decades
been considered contentious, with scholars of both disciplines
inhibited by the constraints of either the religious or the secular
paradigm they primarily inhabit. Development Beyond the Secular
aims to provide a new resource for those interested in the study of
religions and development (primarily postgraduate and academic),
and for those development practitioners wishing to contextualize
their discipline within a religious frame. Using the work of
Christian Aid as its primary lens, this book examines and critiques
the theological underpinnings of development work and questions how
Christian values are manifest through day-to-day work in the world
of poverty eradication. Table of Contents 1. Practical Theology and
Faith-based Development 2. Secular and Faith-based Development
*Defining development *The shared origins of faith and secular
development *Economic growth models of development *Secularization
and its impact on development *Faith discourses of development *The

in Christ: A renewed theology of development *A Christology of
development for a prophetic future *Christ as equality: A theology
of mutual partnership
